HeatherYepâŠthose are air roots. No problem. If you live in a humid climate or humidity is high where the plant is (bathroom?) it isnât uncommon for them to sprout them.

You donât âneedâ to do anything with them, but you can trim them off with sterilized shears if you donât like the way they look or if they grow a bit out of control.

AlyssaIf you want to get into it, plants growing aerial roots is a hint from them that theyâd like a moss pole

Plant Fatherthis is only true for epiphytes, climbing plants. succulents put out aerial roots for various reasons but usually they are just being adventitious, like if there is extra moisture in the air. some succulents grow aerial roots when they are under or overwatered, like crassula ovata or jade trees. as sunny mentioned they can also be an indicator of damage to the root system.

SunnyMy succulents put out aerial roots when it thinks itâs about to die! It happens when I underwater or damage/disease is killing off the section where the aerial roots are coming out. Look at the full plant. Does it have dry leaves, look wrinkled and dehydrated? Then, the plant is telling you it is sending out feelers to find water and preparing itself incase it topples over. It will tap into the soil if the plant falls. đŠ đȘŽ
